    Best if you tell him you have cash in hand and want to come over and audition. That way you can thoroughly pick through any imperfections. A lot of people don't see flaws. Plus tell him your kinda picky. Make small talk and try to make a friend that way it breaks down that barrier.

    1C's in good shape but with typical cloth side delaminating. Bidding starts at $265.00
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/A-pair-of-used-Polk-Audio-SDA-1C-good-working-order/183155244673

    Dude put them on Craigslist, so I sent him an email re: how firm he was on price. Said the $385 price is firm. That's his BIN price as well.
    I may just hang around eBay since nobody has bid and I may just be able to grab 'em for under $300.
    For the amount of work needed, I won't go any higher.

    Yep. I paid 3 hundie for mine in about the same condition.

    I was the only bidder. $265

    Thanks. Started having buyer's remorse when I measured my 2 channel space and realized optimal placement will be a challenge, if not impossible. Oh well ....

    Figured that was the case, and this deal lined up perfectly. John Nooshin advised to pick them up (he knows what he's talking about), my wife is out of town today (always a good thing when acquiring new gear) and I had the day wide open, the truck filled, and as you know, today was the rainy day that never happened.
    Thanks for the recon on the others. They looked like way more work and I think that while $100 is a fair offer for their condition the brother may well want to just part them out.
    I still owe you a Beverage of choice for your work though. We'll set something up, or if you want to join John and I for the LA Audio Show, we can settle up then.

    If they're 1.2 TLs, that's probably in the ballpark.

    Yeah, my bad, I was thinking 1.2TLs. Obviously those are 2.3 TLs.... $2000 is too much.
